How it works

From "who wants to join?" to showing up, in three steps

No group chats to herd, no endless back-and-forth. Just people nearby who want to do the same thing you do.

Find or post an event

Browse what's happening near you, or post your own in about ten seconds: the activity, the place, the time, and how many more people you need.

Ask to join, and get approved

Tap "I'm in" to request a spot. Hosts can tap anyone who asks to see their profile, reviews and badge, then approve the people they want to join them.

Meet up and join in

Chat to sort out the details. Leisure Local reminds you before it starts, then you just show up and join in. Rate the experience afterward.

Features

Everything you need to get out and join in

Events near you

See what's happening within your chosen radius, from 2 to 60 miles, and filter by the activities you love.

You choose who joins

Hosts approve every request, so your event is filled with people you're happy to have join you.

Built-in chat

Message hosts and members directly to work out the details, all without handing out your number.

Never miss a start

Reminders before every event you host or join, from a day ahead to 15 minutes before, with a signature Leisure Local chime. Pick the ones you want.

Ratings and reviews

See how others rate a member before you meet, and leave a review after you join them.

Earn Local Points

Go to events, host them and invite friends to earn points, unlock badges from Explorer to Legend, and top the monthly leaderboard.

Chat

Work out the details, right in the app

Every event has a direct line to the host. Ask about skill level, parking, or who's bringing the cooler.

Questions

Good to know

When is Leisure Local coming out?

Very soon. We're putting the finishing touches on it now. Join the early-access list and you'll be the first to know when it's ready on iPhone and Android.

Where can I use it?

Anywhere. You'll see events posted within the radius you choose. We're starting in North Carolina's High Country and foothills, and every new member helps it grow in their own area, so tell your friends.

Do I have to be good at sports?

Not at all. Every event shows the host's skill level, and plenty are "All levels", so you can find events that fit you. You can message the host first if you're not sure.

Is my information safe?

Yes. Your email and phone number are never shown to other members, location is only used when you ask (and only approximately), and you can delete your account at any time. Read the Privacy Policy for the details.

I run a club, course or rec center. Can we get involved?

We'd love that. Email support@leisurelocal.app and let's talk.
